Yes, it is a great website. I got very lucky and found one of the
thermal bottles on Campmor (all gone now), plus got a Topeak Modula EX
water bottle cage, and am now the ENVY of my fellow riders when it is
really cold out. I always have a hot drink. Sometimes coffee,
sometimes Gatorade-Tea. Think that Russian Tea mix from your youth -
instant tea and Tang. You can make an excellent substitute with real
tea and orange Gatorade. Fruit Punch Gatorade isn't so bad either.

Warning - the website makes nice noises, but you don't want your co-
workers hearing it!

However, the email portal has been broken for quite some time. I've
been trying to send you an email, and it never shows me the magic code.

Yes, Gatorade rules, since it was invented at the University I graduated
from.

For some reason I don't get the sound in Mozilla only in IE.

Sorry about that, I fixed it.

I started that web site somewhat tongue in cheek, but then it took on a
life of its own, with people e-mailing me about how "it changed their
life." Wow!

WTF? Where's the tube for drinking without letting go of the bars for
when you are pumping hard?

Actually, some studies have shown beneficial effects to consuming
caffeine. Since coffee is mostly caffeine and water, it's now a health
drink.

But not when I get done with it. I brew extra
concentrated. Eightteen grams of prime coffee beans for
six fluid ounces of coffee and nine minutes in a French
press maker. Add maple syrup, rum, and heavy cream.

Why are you mixing English and Metric? I do 3 ounces of water to each
tablespoon and soak for around 6 to 10 minutes in a French press. I
think that's considerably more concentrated.

Seemed like a good idea at the time to get my meaning across, and
I do not have to use any fractions. Most people know a standard
cup of coffee is 6 fluid ounces. Most weight weenies know 1 ounce
avoirdupois is approximately 28.35 gram.

I do not know. Tablespoon ground or whole? Do you have a gram
scale? Would you report the mass? Not arguing. Not saying my
coffee is more concentrated than anyone else's, though it is more
concentrated than average. Enquirer minds want to know.

No, no scales in the house whatsoever at the moment. Ground, by the way.

This would be difficult to do and still keep the coffee hot. You'd need
some sort of recirculating system such is used in some buildings to
prevent water from cooling in the hot water pipes.

Actually, since coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee plant, it's an
herbal beverage. There are so many health benefits to coffee it's hard
to keep track of all the studies. It's not really the caffeine per-se,
it's the anti-oxidants.

Whoops... fell off this thread. The info I got was in regards to
caffeine stimulating the muscles during exercise. Some Olympic
trainers now advise consuming some caffeine before training.

Drinking? Oh, neophyte... /IV/, baby. Main line. Direct stop.

Energy blend in one bottle; java (hot or iced) in the other. I ride real
slow to prolong the enjoyment...
